Ski Review: Tested the 2010 176cm ski, loved it! The way it turns like a normal carver then destroys powder with its early rise is great. If you are not used to skiing on fatties then ease into it especially on hardpack but once you get the hang of it they are very easy to ski on.
I ended up buying the 2011 188cm S7. Fully sick graphics on it which I got a lot of comments about! The ski is better in powder with the extra length although it does add some weight.
Overall an amazing ski! only weaknesses I would say are in icy hardpack conditions they tend to skid a lot more than regular carvers. Also at speed in a straight line they do become unstable (I’m talking when hitting speeds over 70kph/45mph. Over 90kph/55mph they really are a handful unless the snow is nicely groomed packed powder). They are somewhat heavy also. But I just love em! (I’m sure my carvers are feeling abandoned!)
